Bridge Reopened

January 16, 2016

Although heavy snow and ice delayed the completion of the work for most of the week, with God’s help the bridge to the monastery is now fully repaired and passable! We sincerely thank all of you for your prayers and support throughout this process. Have a blessed Theophany!

The Hermitage has a new rassophore-monk, Fr. Theophil, and a new novice, Br. John. Archimandrite Seraphim performed the tonsure and the clothing after the Vigil for the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple.

The Hermitage of the Holy Cross celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, marking the occasion in a number of important ways which culminated in the celebration of its patronal feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross with the annual Pilgrimage Weekend following.
